Well I figured I would start documenting this build since I got some parts in. The more parts that come in the more I get excited. This is my first 939 build and yes I do plan on overclocking it.

I would like to apologize for the crappy picture quality as I used my camera phone.

Here we have a group shot of the parts I have so far. As you can see we got the motherboard, CPU, hard drive, optical drives and sound card.

Next is a shot of the motherboard. This is the DFI LANParty UT Ultra-D that has been SLI Modded and using OCZ Tony's from DIY-Stret Modded BIOS v704-2bt that I bought from fellow HCer Eldonko.

Up next is the AMD Opteron 144 1.80GHz Venus (CAB2E 0548FPMW) that I purchased from Supergrover. He was able to get it to 2.7Ghz on stock cooling. I'm hoping I can beat that.

Here is a shot of the SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio that I picked up on sales at NCIX for $39.99 on sale. I had it the next day. That's impressive since it was shipped from BC to Ontario. Gotta love air shipping.

Now for the donor parts from old PC.

First up is the hard drive. It's a Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB 7200 rpm 8MB cache EIDE drive that will be reformatted with a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro SP2.

Here are the optical drives. They are a LG 16X DVD-ROM and a HP 16X DVD±RW drive w/ Lightscribe that I got for Christmas one year from my wife.

Those are the parts so far. I still have to get the video card, memory, heatsink and power supply. The build when done should look like this.

Either work but the orange slot closest to the cpu socket is strongest for clocking mem so you can gain a few more mhz of you put the weaker of the two ram sticks in there. And for the bios, Im not 100% sure its the bigtoe mod, (havent used the board since last fall) just check the post screen or cpuz to find out for sure. If you are looking for any other bios let me know, I have loads of em saved including some cool modded ones (merlin and hellfire).
